Abstract: The hydrogen-rich accreted envelopes of neutron stars in binary systems are the site for the rapid proton capture nucleosynthethic process (rp-process), which involves nuclei close to the proton dripline. An overview of the relevant reactions and nuclear properties for rp-process studies is given, along with motivations for further experimental nuclear physics studies.<br />Comment: 6 pages, 4 figures; Proc.
